Our New Eco-Friendly Car…

Posted by vern | Posted in Resourceful Living | Posted on 08-05-2008

Jeff’s car (RIP Tom) died a month ago and he’s searching for a replacement. He was (is) looking for a diesel so he can convert it to biodiesel and hi-five the environment. Well, the Moen’s beat him to the punch. It may not be a biodiesel, but it is recycled.

Instead of buying a new car made with new plastics, metals, and $6000 dollar batteries, we decided to buy this:

A 1965 Plymouth Barracuda, Commando 273.

100% Recycled, 100% not filling a landfill, and 3 times faster and 8 times better than a Prius.

(My wife wants credit for coming up with the clever “100% Recycled Car” joke.)

100% recycled….That’s great. My 1st car was a ’65 ‘cuda that my dad bought new — right out of the showroom in Lexington, KY — I got it 3yrs later & I loved it. You’ve inspired me to find another one.
